Next Sunday, 4 May we have a fantastic 1st Sunday of the Month Outing planned to Westgate Park and Port Melbourne, with a very special prize for the best photo taken on the day. This will be a great day with many great photographic and learning opportunities.

10am Westgate Park (Full briefing and mentoring for beginners)
12pm Westgate Park (meet under the bridge)
1:30pm Lunch at various eateries on Bay Street, Port Melbourne
3:00pm Street and architecture photography in area
5:00pm Princes Pier for Sunset at 5:30pm

The workshop this month is a talk by Alistair Wilson (Vicki Moritz’s son) specialising in dramatic landscape and seascape photography.

So don’t miss this special night which because of recent numbers will be held in the Craft Room at the community centre and NOT at Wadham House. If you are unsure where the Craft Room is then just come to the Community Centre as if it were a competition night and walk right past the Main Hall and the Craft Room is on the right.

You won’t want to miss this great night so come along, support your club and enjoy this learning experience, 7.30pm for a 7.45pm start.

Another great result for Waverley, around 18 Waverley members in attendance and great hosts with Berwick being very welcoming. The judge David Burren did a great job giving some great feedback on technical errors and improvements whilst still managing to impart some of the artistic elements within the images. You may or may not know that 4-Club is about the 4 competing club’s overall scores rather than being about individuals. There are 3 trophies, 1 for each section. However, there are awards for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in each section, the latter two being just bragging rights.

Well done to all three place getters and Cookie for a 1st place. Thank goodness for that, no more mention of being a ‘B Grader’ at last.

So to the overall scores and Waverley won 2 of the 3 trophies outright:

Obviously the photographers deserve the majority credit for this great result however, thanks and a real big appreciation go to Donna Clarke who painstakingly collates all of the panel who pick the images and then she runs around collecting all of the images and gets them off to the host club. Without Donna, none of this would have happened.
